Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A clutch assembly (10) comprising a clutch cover (11), a pressure plate (12) mounted to the cover, a diaphragm spring (13) biasing the pressure plate away from the cover to engage the clutch, a lever (14) for releasing the clutch and a hydraulic slave cylinder (15) mounted on the cover via a support bearing (21) for movement of the lever to release the clutch. A vibration isolating member (29) such as a layer of polymeric material (29) on a race (22) of the support bearing (21) is provided between the support bearing and the slave cylinder. The race (22) of the support bearing (21) is connected to a piston (17) of the slave cylinder slidably received in an annular bore (19) in a housing (20) of the cylinder to define a working chamber (25). The housing (20) is connected with the lever (14) so that pressurization of the working chamber (25) axially displaces the housing to move the lever and disengage the clutch.
